The herpes simplex virus type 1 Fc receptor discriminates between IgG1 allotypes
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) expresses a complex of two virally encoded glycoproteins, gE and gl, which is capable of binding nonimmune human IgG. The gE-gl complex has thus become known as an Fc receptor (FcR), which reportedly binds human IgG subclasses in the order IgG4 > IgG1 > or = IgG2 and does not bind IgG3 from many individuals. There is, however, allelic variation in the genes encoding the human...
